As much as it was tempting, I didn’t fall back into my old habits. I had succeeded in making the change and I wasn’t going to go back down that road again.
Tash’s recommendation arrived in the mail about three weeks after I left Ogilvy and to my surprise, she had written me a positively glowing one. I wanted to call to thank her, but I thought that she probably didn’t want to talk to me, so I just dropped her a short text saying that I had gotten it and thanks.
I started going for job interviews again and before I knew it, I had gotten another job in another advertising company, TBWA; the great recommendation from Tash had helped a lot.
They put me on the Adidas account, something very different from Ogilvy. My team was also smaller; everything seemed to be more simplified, just the way I wanted it to be. My new boss, Marina Ferrer, was a tall Italian woman who had a more commanding presence than Tasha ever did. My new colleagues were Dana Fairbanks, Shane McCutcheon and Chris Langdon. They immediately integrated me into the scheme of things; I was happy to at least have work to distract my roaming thoughts.
There were days that would go by when I was so swamped with work that I never had time to think about anything else. Then, there were the days that I found myself missing Bette and Tasha.
It had been about three months since Bette left, but we had continued kept our lines of communication open. I never told her about what happened with Tash; I wanted to avoid any questions that I knew would come from her. She sounded happy with Tina and I was glad to give her all the space she needed to pursue her relationship.
I had tried to contact Tash so many times, but she never returned any of my calls. I never had the chance to offer her a proper explanation to what happened, or to share the truth about my past with her. She just completely cut me off. I really missed having her around to talk to, but I also understood that she needed time.

Helena needs some happiness….maybe she needs to completely cut the ties from her pass and move on. Everytime she gets a message from Bette it just makes her feel worst.
neon is in process, my dear. in fact i plan on it being done in a day or two. i’m so touched by this part because i kinda feel like helena, all lost and lonely. good stuff, sweetie, i hope to see more soon!
Awww I love Autumn myself, my favorite season and unfortunately it passes too quickly. That was a sweet gift from Bette. More when you can!
How can you get over somebody who is so dang sweet!?! *sighs* Great chapter. Never fails to touch my heart.
I must say I love this story! I’m really looking forward to your next post for it. One other thing can the six months hurry up and get here? I think Helena and myself have suffered enough. Really, we have. But until you feel we have suffered enough I’ll read it every chance I get. Excellent update!
Man, I didn’t think she would loose her job! Sadly, while they were a comfort to each other…and a kind of love was growing, her and Tasha were not…could not completely connect because of her love for Bette. I love Tasha but ummm…was the firing legal? I suppose it would have eventually gotten quite unbearable, but what were the grounds or was that technically a mutual agreement to part? Indeed in changing her life, it is as though she’s lost control of her life. I hope she will stop going through these experiences of being dismissed, it makes her fortify her walls even more! Sometimes it masquerades as strength but really becomes impenetrability. Great update!! Btw, please, please…no moving on with Marina! lol! Thanks…PPS!
EC, EC, EC….I suffering…Man am I hurting for our heroine. I think you really need to rethink that Chicago move to get the girl…I have to confess my jaw DROPPED when Tasha fired her. No kidding. Then I thought. She should fight it, but why…Its not the job that she lost, its the love, the companionship…Yup time to move on…Call me a wus but I teared up over that snow globe and the note…You are killing me!… WHERE ARE YOU BETTE!!!I don’t know how much of this I can take…You are freaking killing me with this story…Oh BTW did I mention today how much I love this story…I just don’t know how much longer I cna take this angst…I might need to go get that book Helena was reading…OK….PPS

Hello My Beautiful Dragonfly… I can feel this is going to be a long and hard road for beautiful Helena… isn’t it funny that she left a life in which she felt completely ‘happy’ in… because she knew she couldn’t have the one object of her desires… and when she gives it up for said person… she ends up all alone anyways… I can feel her loneliness… and her pain… and her longing… it is your power with words to infuse such raw emotions within the context of your story that makes you such an amazing gift… much love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels) (PS – yeah ‘sleeping’ can’t get enough of that huh LOL… thanks for the music it inspired me completely last night on my long walk… huggles)
wow…that was so beautiful…my eyes teared up at the present form Bette…OHHH NOOOO…A tibetter is a believer:)lol…your words my girl where so moving and powerful and full of pain that you were trying to show..so proud..well done!!!
OMG this is getting so depressing. Poor Helena. I hope that she can pull everything together and not fall into old habits. As for Bette, I hope something knocks some sense into her. I don’t understand how she can deny herself the love that they share. Stubborn little something, she is. You are writing this very well. I am feeling Helena’s turmoil. But it’s making me so anxious. I am on pins and needles hoping that she makes it thru this without screwing up even worse or getting so down that she does something stupid. I have been waiting for this update with anticipation and dread. I want to know what happens next, yet I am afraid it will not be good. Crud, you’ve got me so captivated that it’s driving me crazy. God, I love/hate it! =) With that being said, PPS! LOL!
